Nottingham Xmas market

Christmas cheer comes to Nottingham next week with the opening of the German Christmas Market in the city centre on November 19, 2008 and the start of a festive light show that will illuminate Nottingham’s Council House for miles around. Early to mid-December, the traditional Christmas Craft Market will open.

The German market will be in Long Row, King Street and Smithy Row and the craft market will be in Long Row West between King Street and Market Street or in Wheeler Gate.

Instead of the traditional Christmas tree in the Old Market Square this year, a display of dancing lights will colourwash the columns of the Council House, bathing the façade and dome in a rainbow of colours making it visible for miles around and ensuring that the Old Market Square remains the brightest point in the City.

Late night Xmas shopping

Victoria Centre has over 120 shops all under the one roof that makes it great for a shopping spree. It got its name Victoria as it used to be an old train station called Victoria Station, as you can see on the photo, the Victoria clock tower is still there & is the only remaining piece of the station left. It includes shops such as House of Fraser, John Lewis, Next, Topshop, Disney Store etc. There are lots of cafes & restaurants in Vic Centre as well as a couple of gorgeous cookie stores & these taste great. Make sure you try them out. Victoria Centre is open 7 days a week with late night shopping on a Wednesday. During Christmas time there are lots of beautiful decorations around Victoria Centre & it really gets you in the mood for Christmas. Children can also go & see Santa's Grotto here & receive a small gift as well as a photo with Santa.....

Brightly coloured stalls decorated with lights, selling every conceivable Christmas gift and the traders in Victorian costume. The aroma of chestnuts roasting, mince pies and hot mulled wine. The delicate sound of hand bell ringers or local choirs singing carols by lantern light, street theatre and beautiful services in the majestic Cathedral.

Thought to be the biggest market of its type in Europe, visitors can expect to find a mix of quality hand-crafted goods, gifts, locally produced specialist foods and entertainment, set against the backdrop of Lincoln's magnificent cathedral and castle.

For those seeking distinctive Christmas gifts, shoppers should take time to explore the multitude of craft stalls.
With everything from ceramics and woodcarvings, to glassware, jewellery, wooden toys, sculptures, mirrors and hand-wrought iron, there are ample opportunities to find that special gift.

Visitors should find something for every taste and budget. Some stalls are unique to Lincoln and Lincolnshire; others travel the globe to trade at Lincoln's Christmas Market.
